It is a surgical procedure that has been around over the past twenty years, but has only recently gained popularity due to advancement in surgical techniques and a wider understanding of hip pathology. Whereas in the past options were limited for patients with hip problems and in some cases, hip replacement was inevitable, it is now recognised that hip arthroscopy can potentially postpone the need for hip replacement. Hip arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure used to evaluate and treat certain disorders of the hip. It is the alternative to open surgery where longer recovery periods are expected with an increased risk of infection and morbidity in older patients. Hip arthroscopy at the Yorkshire Clinic is performed by Ernest Schilders, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon, who has a special interest in groin and sports injuries, and arthroscopic surgery of the hip. Ernest Schilders trained and qualified in Antwerp, Belgium, and has gained an international reputation through his treatment of high-profile, professional athletes, his research activities and publishing of articles. He is a renowned guest-speaker at international sports and medical conferences. Hip Arthroscopy - What does the procedure involve? At the Yorkshire Clinic hip arthroscopy is currently performed on an in-patient basis under general anaesthetic. Small incisions are made in the patient’s hip area and a camera lens is inserted through these holes so that the surgeon may visualise the inside of the patient's hip joint. The visible area of the hip consists of two compartments: a central and a peripheral compartment. The central compartment is the area of the hip that contains cartilage and is the space between the ball and socket. Cartilage lesions and labral tears in this compartment can be visualised and treated. The peripheral compartment is the area of the femoral neck and the hip capsule. Bumps or so- called CAM deformities of the femoral neck can be removed. Labral tears can be treated with a resection of the tear or repair depending on the type of tear. Anatomy of the Hip Joint The hip is a ball (femoral head) and socket (acetabulum) joint. The socket consists of a bony part (acetabulum) which is surrounded by a thick soft tissue rim, which is known as the labrum. The acetabular labrum is horseshoe-shaped and the ends are connected by the transverse ligament. The hip joint is surrounded by the capsule, a thick soft tissue mantle. Common Disorders of the Hip Labral Tears Labral tears can occur acutely as a result of trauma or over a longer period of time due to naturally-occurring wear and tear (degenerative-type tears). Labral tears can be classed as post- traumatic, degenerative, or as a result of femoro-acetabular impingement or instability of the hip joint. Labral tears can be debrided or repaired depending on the type of tear. Tear of the labrum Repair of the labrum Femoro-acetabular Impingement (FAI) Femoro-acetabular impingement of the hip is a relatively newly-recognised condition and occurs from a combination of abnormalities of the femoral head/neck and/or the acetabulum. The anatomical deformity seen in a hip with FAI can be a bump (known as a CAM deformity) on the femoral neck, which impinges on the acetabulum when the hip is flexed and internally rotated. Acetabular deformity can also occur causing over-coverage of the femoral head. Impingement can then be caused by jamming of an abnormally-shaped femoral head into the acetabulum ring in forceful flexion and internal rotation or as a result of contact between the acetabular rim and femoral head/neck junction. As a result of this delamination (separation) of the articular cartilage and a labral tear can occur. There is growing scientific evidence that FAI is a precursor of osteoarthritis. Early detection and treatment of this condition can potentially delay the need for hip replacement. Symptoms of Femoro-acetabular impingement • Groin pain or pain over the anterior side of the thigh • Difficulty putting on socks and shoes • Pain with prolonged sitting or driving. • A tendency to walk with the foot in an externally rotated (outward) position. • Painful clicking in the hip • Adductor symptoms (pain on the inside of the thigh) • A gradually reduced range of motion Articular cartilage lesions Repetitive impact, trauma or arthritis of the hip joint causes a gradual loss of cartilage which in some cases can lead to debilitating pain and loss of sleep. In patients with sufficient remaining cartilage micro-fracture can be performed, which involves making small holes through the surface layer of bone (subchondral bone) to increase blood flow from deeper, vascularised bone and help stimulate cartilage growth. Capsule Hip bone Articular cartilage Labrum Cross section detail of the acetabulum Treatment Programme During the first consultation with the consultant your medical history will be taken to gather information about any current complaints, the duration of your symptoms, any pain and limitations, injuries and past treatment with medication or surgery. You will then undergo a physical examination of your hip to assess any pain or tenderness, range of motion, strength or weakness, instability or signs of impingement. Finally, diagnostic investigations can be performed. A pelvic x-ray will be taken to evaluate any bony abnormalities, usually followed by an MRI scan (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to give detailed views of the soft tissue structures of the hip. The results of the evaluation and best treatment options will then be discussed with you. If you require surgery If surgery is agreed as the best option for you, your consultant will discuss the pros and cons of the surgery with you and answer any questions you may have. Hip arthroscopy currently involves an overnight stay in hospital. Your consultant will discuss planning for the period before and after your surgery with you. Planning for surgery is very important as you will be taking time out of your normal daily or working routine and these implications can be discussed with the consultant who will advise you of anticipated recovery periods and post-operative rehabilitation. Preparing for your surgery In some instances patients may be required to undergo a pre-operative assessment. Your general health is very important when considering surgery and you may be screened for blood pressure, heart conditions or diabetes if you have a known history of any of these. It is therefore important to inform your consultant at the planning stage of your surgery if you do have any concerns regarding your health or are already taking any medication. Once your surgery has been arranged you will be given admission instructions, which will advise you of the arrangements prior to coming into hospital such as starving instructions and what to bring with you when you attend hospital. Possible complications following surgery There are always some risks with any surgery, even arthroscopic procedures. These include possible infections and damage to surrounding nerves and blood vessels. However, modern surgical techniques and close monitoring have significantly minimised the occurrence of these problems. After surgery, some pain, tenderness, and stiffness are to be expected; however, you should be alert for certain signs and symptoms that may suggest the development of complications. When you are discharged from hospital you will be advised on your post-operative care regarding suture removal and wound dressing. Possible complications following surgery: • Fever after the second day following surgery • Increasing pain or swelling • Redness, warmth or tenderness which may suggest a wound infection • Unusual bleeding (some surgical wound drainage is normal and may be required) • Numbness or tingling in the lower limb extremities Post-Operative rehabilitation & prevention of future problems Post-operative rehabilitation is a key factor in achieving a good recovery and preventing any future problems. Prior to being discharged from hospital physiotherapy will be discussed and/or arranged with you if appropriate. You will also be advised on a home exercise programme consisting of stretching and strengthening exercises, which are vital following hip surgery. Results have shown that patients who comply with instructions and exercises prescribed by their orthopaedic surgeon and physiotherapist will have the best medical outcome following surgery. Frequently asked questions about Hip Arthroscopy How long would I need to be off work following surgery? Office or sedentary work can be resumed one to two weeks following surgery. Heavy manual work should be between eight and twelve weeks. How long before I am able to drive? One to two weeks following surgery, as long as this does not cause any pain or discomfort and you are not taking strong medication. Are there any restrictions following surgery? Following hip arthroscopy patients are supplied with crutches and are usually required to partial weight-bear for three to six weeks whilst the site of surgery heals and depending if any cartilage treatment or labral repair has been performed. What are the known complications of hip arthroscopy? Although hip arthroscopy is recognised as a fairly safe procedure complications can occur as follows: • Sciatic nerve injuries can occur due to prolonged traction or incorrect posterior portal placement. • Pressure sores and pudendal nerve problems can occur due to direct pressure in the perineal area.

Total Hip Arthroplasty for Surgically Ankylosed Hips. Cerrahpaşa Medical Journal 2020; 44(2): 93-97. Abstract Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the long-term results of total hip arthroplasty in patients with surgically ankylosed hips. Methods: We reviewed 8 hips of 7 patients in whom ankylosed hips were converted to total hip arthroplasty between October 2011 and November 2015. All patients had surgical ankylosis of their hips. All patients were evaluated regarding lumbar and contralateral hip pain, hip joint range of motion (ROM), functional status, and satisfaction from treatment after surgery. Results: In our study, the etiology of the ankylosis was tuberculous septic arthritis in 2 (25%) and developmental hip dysplasia in 6 (75%) hips. The mean duration of the surgical ankylosis before conversion surgery was 29±13.6 years. All patients had osseous ankylosis and the indications for arthroplasty were intractable low back pain in 6 patients (85.7%) and hip pain in 4 patients (57.1%). The mean fol- low-up period was 13±2.7 months. There was statistically significant improvement in lumbar and contralateral hip pain, hip joint ROM, functional status, and satisfaction from treatment after surgery. Conclusion: Conversion of hip ankylosis to total hip arthroplasty is an effective method to regain hip function and control symptoms of neighboring joints.
